Making the most of Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI's) Interactive electronic learning can help you stay up-to-date.

Computer-assisted instruction, computer-assisted learning, computer managed instruction- Why should you care about these technology terms? Because these systems can provide a time-saving way for you to stay up-to date with nursing practice. These terms refer to the use of personal computers and appropriate software to provide a structured learning experience. Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) programs can present simple screens of text or complex sequences of graphics, animation, and sound. The best CAI programs allow you to control the pace and a sequence of instruction. Here's what CAI can offer you:

Reduced learning time. Research shows that interactive technologies reduce learning time by an average of 50 percent. You can move through the program at your own pace, skipping areas you're familiar with and concentrating on ones you are weak in.

Increased retention. Because electronic learning requires your participation, you'll retain information longer than with passive learning.

Accessibility. Unlike a teacher, a computer is available around the clock.

Consistent, current content. Computer assisted instruction equipment doesn't tire and always delivers content in a consistent, reliable manner. The software is updated regularly to ensure timeliness and accuracy.

Safety. Novices can practice assessment and other clinical skills without jeopardizing a patient.

Privacy and patience. Good CAI software doesn't judge you-and you learn in private. Although the system may lack a sense of humor, it doesn't lose patience.

Enhanced motivation. As you take control of the learning process, you may want to explore new areas of interest and actively seek to broaden your knowledge. With CAI, you're challenged to move to higher levels of expertise.

Understanding CAI formats: Commercial computer-assisted instruction software comes in three formats. Interactive menu-driven tutorials. After you view the information on the screen you press a key or click a computer mouse to advance to the next screen. You may have to answer questions about the material presented. Clinical simulations. With these systems you initiate and implement a sequence of assessments and decisions in a changing clinical simulation. The simulation can be linear (forcing you to take an optimal path as the patient management problem advances) or branching (allowing varied approaches to the problem). Drill and practice. The system is similar to flash cards. You're presented with a question; you then choose an answer from several options. You can get feedback on overall scores and specific topic performance. This format is especially useful for learning patterns such as arrhythmias, and preparing for licensing or certification exams.

ETHICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF NURSING

Legal Aspects of Nursing Fundamental legal concepts are applied to realistic nursing situations. Your legal position in such situation is tested in a game format, requiring you to answer questions correctly to avoid being judged "guilty of ignorance of the law".

Protecting the Rights of Patients and Residents

The current ethical and legal climate makes understanding patient/resident rights MANDATORY. Using historical figures who forged the Bill of Rights, this program reviews rights in 16 areas including: identification, information, communication, informed consent, consultation refusal of treatment, experimental procedures, transfer, continuity of care, agency charges, access to care, agency rules/regulations, considerate/respectful care, privacy, confidentiality, and personal safety. You then play a game to spot violations in care situations.
